The Duel on Mustafar was a confrontation between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Aftermath

"When your father clawed his way out of that fiery pool, the change had been burned into him forever. He was Darth Vader, without a trace of Anakin Skywalker. Irredeemably dark. Scarred. Kept alive only by machinery and his own black will."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Luke Skywalker[1]

In 0 BBY Kenobi gave Luke Skywalker his father's fallen lightsaber.[2] However, Kenobi chose not to reveal to Luke what his father had become. Instead, he told Luke a deliberately deceptive story, using wordplay to make it appear that Vader and Anakin had been two physically separate individuals, and that Vader had killed Anakin. Later on, he encountered Vader again. This time, he was struck down, and became a Force ghost.[2]

This duel occurred over 20 years prior to Darth Vader's death.[3]

Behind the scenes

The duel was established in creator George Lucas's notes and canon that Master and Apprentice had a semi-final duel, and that Vader owed his severe injuries to lava. Mentions of that duel and Vader's fall had been mentioned in A New Hope, where Kenobi dueled Vader aboard the first Death Star.[2] Origins of the duel could be traced to the Original trilogy, during which Vader had numerous visible scars on his pale white head seen when his mask was off.[4][5]
